Why punish for being peaceful?  The game has a lot of civilian things to
do that don't get done if you demand military victory.  I'd put in a
strong vote in favour of allowing peaceful strategies to do well.

Agree that it's weird to have more points than everyone else combined
and have it end in a draw (the usual case for me, by about 1500AD, in an
all-AI game).
